    There are blood tests for Celiac disease. A dermatologist can also biopsy the skin next to the blistery rash to check for DH (the skin version of Celiac). If you want to be tested for Celiac you must continue to eat a regular gluten containing diet until all tests are finished. Lots of good info here: Open Original Shared Link

    If you have been gluten-free for 2 years, you should not show any celiac damage. It should have healed by now. However, Celiac isn't an allergy. I am not sure if the doctor just called it that as it might make more sense to people or what. You might want to get a copy of the blood work and see what was actually tested. It is possible to have Celiac...

    Welcome They may be throwing up their hands because they can't test you for Celiac if you have been gluten-free for 2 years? At this point, you have to decide if you really want to go back to eating gluten to be tested. If you are happy eating gluten-free and feel certain that gluten is an issue.....maybe you don't need to find a doctor to test you...

    Sounds like you already know the answer... But, you need to be eating a normal gluten containing diet for diagnosis of Celiac Disease. You could see if you could get in sooner if they have a cancellation? Open Original Shared Link "Any changes in your diet can affect the accuracy of your biopsy results. It is necessary for you to be eating...

    I wouldn't worry about art supplies with someone this age. She isn't going to eat the PlayDoh & can wash her hands well after. If she has a cooking class, she might need to be excused if they are baking with flour - flour just flies everywhere.

    Pleas note that this thread is from 2007 - products and ingredients change over that period of time.

    Great way to make meat " balls". Do you add any breadcrumbs?

    Cheese ravioli with smashed tomato sauce and arugula and a little turkey Italian sausage.

    Something to do with your waffle iron. The salmon seemed a bit wrong -but they cooked tator tots in it and that seemed like a great idea. The guy has a website and a book. https://gma.yahoo.com/photos/way-more-than-waffles-make-breakfast-lunch-dinner-in-your-waffle-iron-slideshow/

    Just meals like sandwiches or burgers. Hub likes lots of gluten-free crackers but the boys want Wheat Thins. We only do gluten-free pasta anymore.

    Mine will cook for me or with me. I was just talking about when we are eating a mixed meal - which isn't often.

    You need to pre-register for the free screening. On page 3 of this link it has info http://www.cureceliacdisease.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/CdC_Newsletter_0614.pdf

    Could you tell us what country that is? In the US, that isn't true. Many countries, the US & Canada included, have laws in place that wheat must be listed as an ingredient. Also, not sure why you would need a thickener on bacon? Why would you thicken the grease? I guess, if you were making gravy....but you would do that after the bacon is cooked...

    One thing we do sometimes is - I serve everything! A bit of a pain, but it works. Also, the gluten-free items go on everyone's dinner plate before the bread or crackers. For example, they get the chicken and the green beans, then go over and get the bun to make a chicken sandwich. Or they serve themselves the cheese and fruit and then get their beloved...

    Sounds like a problem with the vaccine, to me. You should probably call the doctor and see what is going on. Edit: just realized you have seen the doctor. If this persists, I think I would either go back and insist on some help or try another doctor?

    Just happened to be on and that was one thing I know about! My posts & quotes show my KC time zone. I think there is something you have to set in your profile area? It was still showing central time for some things when I was in Colorado... But Colorado time for others. But I didn't pay much attention.

    No. Some people don't like the flavor oak imparts to a wine. http://www.winespectator.com/drvinny/show/id/5273

    Having the gene does not mean you have Celiac. I would push the doctor to look for other things. And.... From my understanding, it isn't a good idea to just stop taking antidepressants. You may need those - no matter what other health issues you have. You could show your doctor this: Open Original Shared Link

    Wildfire is known for being especially good for Celiacs. Sounds like they had a very slight glitch as processed on the same machinery does not mean the nuts contain gluten. Most food doesn't tell you how it is processed. They have a gluten-free Mac & cheese that is ...... Sooooooo yummy! The kind I found on the Internet say " same facility" which...

    I am asking how long because, if it's one week, its easy to live off Luna bars and fruit. If its 3 months, you will need to give this more thought and planning.
  24. kareng
    How long will you be there? Is there anyone who has recently been in the same location that you could email and ask what they ate? How much can you bring with you? Are you in a big city that might have stores to get some food like fruit and cheese or yogurt or nuts?

    Thanks for the update. People use Google and get to these threads. Its nice for them to see there wasn't gluten in the PB. And its great you have figured it out so you will feel better.
